Silverlight y Domotica en la ORT

Ayer miercoles 19, tuvieron lugar en la universidad ORT las jornadas academicas (Jafi, Jefi y Jifi, para los entendidos).

Lo que mas me llamo la atencion es una empresa llamada Vertex Ray (www.vertexray.com), que
se esta aventurando en el mundo de la domotica. Por lo que me explicaron ya tienen un proyecto en proceso que se va a dar lugar en un lujoso hotel de Punta del Este. (Mas adelante voy a ampliar)

Ademas Eduardo Mangarelli dio una charla sobre la WEB 2.0 y como afronta Microsoft esta ola de aplicaciones ricas por internet. El hablo sobre Silverlight, lo cual me dejo bastante interesado. (mas adelante voy a comentar mis aventuras por ese mundo)

Por ahora nada mas.
